HONORING<br />
VICTIMS OF CRIME<br />
In April, a commemoration of the 25th<br />
Anniversary of the Colorado’s Victims Rights<br />
Act was held as part of National Crime Victims’<br />
Rights Week (NCVRW), April 2-8, 20<strong>17</strong>. The<br />
Colorado Victims Rights Act was passed by<br />
Colorado voters on November 3, 1992, as<br />
Referendum A: Victims Rights. It became<br />
Section 16a of Amendment II, The Bill of<br />
Rights, of the Colorado Constitution. This year,<br />
National Crime Victims’ Rights Week theme —<br />
Strength. Resilience. Justice. — reflects a vision<br />
Ron Rakowsky<br />

for the future in which all victims are<br />
strengthened by the response they receive,<br />
organizations are resilient in response to<br />
challenges, and communities are able to seek<br />
collective justice and healing.<br />
This inspiring event in Denver had remarks by Attorney<br />
General Cynthia Coffman, the Acting U.S. Attorney. Bob<br />
Troyer, a longtime supporter speaking to the historical view,<br />
and the daughter of the teacher killed at Columbine.<br />
Chairperson Cara Denney, Coloradans Organized for<br />
Responsible Drivers (C.O.R.D), and myself were also in<br />
attendance. The reoccurring theme of all the speakers was<br />
focused on making sure the criminal justice system is<br />
committed to victims’ rights.<br />
Our 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, along<br />
with Sheriff Tony Spurlock, Douglas County, and Lieutenant<br />
Colonel Matt Packard, Colorado State Patrol, spoke at a<br />
commemoration in Douglas County that I also attended.<br />
The National Crime Victims’ Rights Week celebration always<br />
brings a renewed sense of purpose to our Victim Advocates at<br />
Greenwood Village. The Victims Assistance Unit of the<br />
Police Department works to comfort, inform, and support<br />
victims while keeping lines of<br />
communication open with police officers<br />
to bring peace and justice for those<br />
whose lives have been altered by a crime.<br />
If you have any questions or would like<br />
more information about the Colorado<br />
Victims Rights Act, please contact our<br />
Victims Assistance Coordinator Melissa<br />
Madsen at 303-773-2525 or<br />
mmadsen@greenwoodvillage.com. You<br />

assistance services at<br />

RECOGNIZING YOUTH<br />
FOR THEIR ADVERSITIES<br />
There are many untold stories we never learn regarding youth<br />
who overcome some great challenges and adversities in their<br />
lives. Many of these events may be too difficult to explain in<br />
words, but call our attention to recognize these young adults<br />
who have overcome these personal hardships. Their<br />
leadership and bravery is exemplary and I am proud to call<br />
them leaders in our communities.<br />
In April, Greenwood Village, along with some of our<br />
neighboring cities of Arapahoe County, were part of the<br />
Arapahoe County Mayors and Commissioners Youth Awards<br />
(MMCYA) Program recognition event at Centennial Airport.<br />
The MMCYA event recognized <strong>17</strong> students for overcoming<br />
adversity and rising to the challenges life has presented. Each<br />
teen showed maturity and strength beyond his or her years in<br />
overcoming their obstacles with dignity, resourcefulness and<br />
personal integrity. Teens are nominated by their school<br />
counselors, teachers, mentors and parents.<br />

<strong>GV</strong> NAMED PUBLIC HEALTH<br />
HERO OF THE YEAR<br />
Congratulations to Greenwood Village as we were named<br />
the Public Health Hero of the Year by Tri-County Health<br />
Department (TCHD). This award is given to individuals,<br />
businesses, or organizations that work to improve or<br />
promote public health in Adams, Arapahoe or Douglas<br />
counties. Our nomination was based on the City Council’s<br />
work to pass an ordinance in February 2016 to expand the<br />
Village’s smoke-free law. Our comprehensive smoke-free law<br />
prohibits electronic smoking devices everywhere that<br />
conventional smoking is prohibited (including “vape” shops)<br />
and extends to select outdoor areas including transit waiting<br />
areas, parks, trails, outdoor plazas and Fiddler’s Green<br />
Amphitheatre.<br />
Through the adoption of Village ordinance, the City Council<br />
strongly believes that it is our duty to protect children,<br />
residents, workers, and visitors from both secondhand smoke<br />

and from electronic device aerosol emissions that contain<br />
cancer-causing chemicals. One of our primary goals at the<br />
Village is to ensure the safety of the community which is why<br />
we are committed to the public’s health by taking a hard<br />
stance on second-hand smoke. You can learn more about our<br />
smoke-free law at greenwoodvillage.com.<br />
If you are a smoker and interested in learning how to quit,<br />
the Colorado Quitline offers free over-the-phone counseling<br />
and free nicotine replacement therapy for Colorado residents.<br />
Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit coquitline.org. to get<br />

Don’t give up. Most people try several times to quit. You can<br />

PLEASE ATTEND THIS YEAR’S<br />
METRO PUBLIC SAFETY EVENT<br />
It takes a partnership of police and fire agencies to ensure the<br />
safety of the citizens that live, work and visit in our region.<br />
As citizens, we are very fortunate that many of our police and<br />
fire agencies, even though they manage safety for their own<br />
jurisdictions, have developed great working relationships<br />
where they rely on each other for assistance, and in some<br />
cases, share resources to combat crime, manage traffic, and<br />
conduct crime prevention events.<br />
Please join the Greenwood Village Police Department on<br />
Saturday, May 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at City Hall as they<br />
host the second annual Metro Public Safety event. There will<br />
be several law enforcement and fire agencies showcasing their<br />
services and providing outreach to citizens of all ages. It will<br />
be a fun event for the entire family. As residents and<br />
businesses of Greenwood Village, please stop by and show<br />
your support for not only our Police Department, but also all<br />
the law enforcement and fire agencies that place their lives on<br />
the line for us every day to protect our neighborhoods, guard<br />
our homes and businesses, safeguard our children at school,<br />

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION<br />
DISPOSAL SITES ARE<br />
NOW AVAILABLE<br />
Pain killers are<br />
playing a leading<br />
role in the heroin<br />
epidemic in<br />
Colorado which<br />
has prompted<br />
Attorney General<br />
Cynthia Coffman<br />
and the Metro<br />
Mayors Caucus<br />
to work on ways<br />
we can solve this<br />
health crisis that<br />
is claiming the<br />
lives of so many,<br />
including our<br />
young people.<br />
One way is to<br />
address<br />
prescription drug<br />
abuse as it’s a fast growing problem in America and is<br />
impacting families across Colorado.<br />
In April, I joined the Mayors of Thornton, Wheat Ridge, and<br />
Mayor Pro-Tem of Aurora and Colorado Attorney General<br />
Coffman to support the launch of Walgreens’ permanent<br />
prescription medication disposal sites, which are now located<br />
across the Denver metro area. Walgreens medication disposal<br />
kiosks are free to use, and will help to ensure Coloradans can<br />
safely and easily dispose of medications that are no longer<br />
needed. Properly disposing of unused, unwanted or expired<br />
medications, including controlled substances and<br />
over-the-counter medications, can help to prevent<br />
misuse of those drugs and lower the risk of abuse<br />
by a friend or family member.<br />
According to the Office of National Drug Control<br />
Policy’s findings, over half of the people who used<br />
pain relievers non-medically obtained the drugs<br />
from a friend or relative for free; another 11<br />
percent bought them from a friend or relative; and<br />
5 percent got them from a friend or relative<br />
without asking – adding up to 71 percent<br />
obtaining their most recently used pain relievers in<br />
some fashion from friends and family.<br />

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS<br />
Greenwood Village is partnering once again with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents<br />
on ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.<br />
SUMMER WATERING<br />
RULES IN EFFECT<br />
Water connects us all. Denver Water’s summer watering<br />
rules ensure we have enough water now and in the future.<br />
Water belongs to everyone, and we are all responsible for<br />
using it wisely.<br />
Summer watering rules are enforced May 1 to Oct. 1.<br />
• Water during cooler times of the day — lawn watering<br />
is NOT<br />
allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.<br />
• Water no more than three days per week.<br />
• Do not allow water to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.<br />
• Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete or<br />
asphalt.<br />
• Repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days.<br />
• Do not irrigate while it is raining or during high winds.<br />
• Use a hose nozzle with a shut-off valve when washing<br />
your car.<br />
If you see water waste that does not meet these rules, call<br />
Denver Water at 303-893-2444 or report it online at<br />
denverwater.org.<br />
Learn more at denverwater.org/SummerWatering.<br />
SPRINKLER SYSTEM START UP<br />
When you turn on your irrigation system for the first time,<br />
visually inspect irrigation nozzles and sprinkler lines for<br />
leaks. Nozzles that are broken or gushing should be<br />
replaced. If nozzles are spraying water onto streets or<br />
sidewalks, adjust them to irrigate the landscape. Lastly, if<br />
you see water pooling from underneath the surface of your<br />
landscape, you could have a sprinkler line leak and this<br />

COYOTE ACTIVITY<br />
INCREASING IN THE SPRING<br />
COYOTES EXPECTED TO BEHAVE MORE<br />
AGGRESSIVE TO PROTECT NEW PUPS<br />
Wildlife experts indicate that most coyote and human<br />
conflicts have been a direct result of human behavior such as<br />
feeding coyotes, walking a dog without a leash, or leaving<br />
food or water outside for your pets. Although these behaviors<br />
may seem innocent, they are actually harmful to you and<br />
your family, and to the health and safety of the coyote<br />
population.<br />
Spring is denning season for coyotes with new pups in the<br />
dens and coyotes are expected to behave more aggressively.<br />
Citizens are encouraged to take precautions when enjoying<br />
the outdoors to prevent a negative encounter with these<br />
wildlife animals.<br />
The feeding of coyotes by humans is one of the most harmful<br />
actions man can inflict on coyotes and wild animal<br />
populations. It is essential to minimize human/coyote<br />
conflict, as well as for the health and well-being of coyotes, to<br />
not be fed by humans. Coyotes used to being fed become<br />
habituated to human-provided food and alter their foraging<br />
and hunting behavior. The feeding of coyotes encourages<br />
them to remain in residential areas, increasing their<br />
encounters with pets and humans.<br />
What You Can Do:<br />
• Never feed coyotes! Intentionally feeding coyotes is<br />
illegal and these laws will be enforced.<br />
• Please do not feed coyotes anywhere.<br />
• Discourage others from feeding coyotes.<br />
• Do not touch young coyotes. A coyote that appears<br />
orphaned most often is not; the mother is usually nearby.<br />
• Teach children not to feed or approach coyotes and always<br />
tell an adult when they see one.<br />
• Do not give coyotes the opportunity to get into your<br />
garbage; keep garbage in sealed containers with secure lids.<br />
• Remove attractants from your yard such as pet food, water<br />
sources, bird feeders and fallen fruit. Keep pet food and<br />
water inside.<br />
• Fully enclose gardens and compost piles.<br />
KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH<br />
As coyotes adapt to their surroundings, they have discovered<br />
that humans provide a sufficient source for food, water, and<br />
shelter. Coyotes will feed on whatever is available to them,<br />
including your household pets. Most attacks on pets occur in<br />
backyards as many coyote-pet interactions occur when a<br />
KEEPING COYOTES OUT<br />
Coyotes are smart, persistent and small. That means most fences<br />
and garden walls won’t keep them out. A good rule of thumb is<br />
that anything a cat can get through or over, a coyote can too.<br />
DOGGY DOORS<br />
Do not leave doggy doors open, especially when you are not<br />
home, even in the middle of the day. If you have a cat or dog door<br />
in your home, make sure it’s shut especially at dawn, dusk and at<br />
night.<br />
PETS BEING AWAY FROM YARD<br />
Be cautious when bringing pets back home after they have been<br />
gone from the yard for a few days. Coyotes usually move into the<br />
area when family pets leave and pet-coyote interactions occur<br />
when the dog returns home.<br />

IF A COYOTE APPROACHES<br />
YOU, NEVER RUN AWAY….<br />
INSTEAD HAZE!<br />
Hazing is a method that uses deterrents to move an animal out of<br />
an area or discourage an undesirable behavior or activity. Hazing<br />
can help maintain coyotes’ fear of humans and deter them from<br />
neighborhood spaces such as backyards and playgrounds.<br />
Hazing Methods<br />
Using a variety of different hazing tools is critical because coyotes<br />
can habituate to individual items, sounds, and actions. A coyote<br />
who is being hazed must be able to recognize that the potential<br />
threat is coming from a person. Therefore, hiding behind a bush<br />
and throwing rocks or hazing from inside your car isn’t effective.<br />
You can use hazing techniques and tools for one animal or<br />
multiple animals. There is usually a dominant animal in the group<br />
who will respond, and others will follow her lead. Don’t stop<br />
hazing after it’s successful. Coyotes or their pups could return to<br />
their unacceptable habits or behaviors if you stop. Once you haze<br />
the coyote, it may return. Continue to haze the coyote as you did<br />
before. It usually only takes a couple of times for the coyote not to<br />
return.<br />
• Yell and wave your arms while approaching the coyote —<br />
“Go Away Coyote” Method.<br />
The simplest method of hazing a coyote involves being loud<br />
and large. If a coyote has not been hazed before, he might not<br />
immediately run away when you yell at him. If this happens,<br />
you might need to walk toward the coyote and increase the<br />
intensity of your hazing. If the coyote does run away, he might<br />
stop after a distance and look back at you. It’s important to<br />
continue to haze the coyote until he leaves the area completely.<br />
You might need to use multiple tactics, such as shaking<br />
noisemakers, stomping your feet, and spraying him with a hose<br />
to get him to leave.<br />
• Use noisemakers (e.g. your voice, whistles, air horns, bells,<br />
soda cans filled with pennies or dead batteries, pots and pans<br />
banged together).<br />
• Use projectiles (e.g. sticks, small rocks, cans, tennis balls,<br />
rubber balls).<br />
• Try other repellents (e.g. hoses, water guns with vinegar water,<br />
spray bottles with vinegar water, pepper spray, bear repellent,<br />
or walking sticks). Citronella spray is also very effective for<br />
hazing a coyote. One brand is SprayShield. If a coyote is in<br />
your yard and won’t leave you can use ammonia rags<br />
(ammonia soaked rags, with 70 percent ammonia to 30 percent<br />
water.) Throw them at the coyote. During warmer months you<br />
can squirt them with a hard spray from your hose.<br />
household pet is allowed to roam free.<br />
What You Can Do:<br />
• Keep pets on a six-foot leash when walking at all times.<br />
It is illegal to have your dog off a leash and the law will<br />
be enforced.<br />
• Choose alternate times when you allow your pets in the<br />
yard so your behavior is not predictable with coyotes.<br />
• Never allow your pets to “play” with a coyote.<br />
• Pick up small pets if confronted by a coyote.<br />
• Always supervise your pet when outside, especially at<br />
dawn and dusk.<br />
• Never leave cats or dogs outside after dark.<br />
• If you must leave your pet outside, secure it in a fully<br />
enclosed kennel.<br />
• Keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations.<br />
REPORT COYOTE<br />
BEHAVIOR AND ACTIVITY<br />
Please call the Greenwood Village Police Department at<br />
303-773-2525 with information on coyote sightings<br />
including sick or injured coyotes. The Police Department is<br />

Pilates studio. With<br />
a newly designed,<br />
state of the art<br />
studio and a grand<br />
opening in March<br />
20<strong>17</strong>, The FAB<br />
Method was a result<br />
of two talented<br />
professionals leaving<br />
the corporate world to embrace their true passion in the<br />
fitness industry. Co-owners and certified Pilates instructors,<br />
Kadi Bain and Kiki Pierce had a vision of owning a studio<br />
and creating a unique Pilates program. “We embraced and<br />
incorporated our knowledge and experience in the fitness<br />
industry to create our own FAB Method,” shared Kadi.<br />
The method incorporates custom made FAB equipment that<br />
is custom built and designed exclusively to accompany the<br />
FAB Method workouts. “The FAB Method is not a<br />
franchised workout. The FABFormer machines are the only<br />
of its kind in Colorado,” stated Kiki. The FAB method<br />
utilizes all the elements of an ideal fitness program; including<br />
cardiovascular, strength training, balance and flexibility with<br />
contemporary Pilates. “These aspects are encompassed in one<br />
workout,” exclaimed Kadi.<br />
The FAB Method studio offers a variety of class types and<br />
durations designed to offer flexibility to meet all schedules,<br />
early morning or late in the day. Some of the class options<br />
include the FAB Full Body series and the FAB Express. The<br />
FAB Full Body series consists of three classes divided into<br />
three levels and are designed to fit different levels of needs.<br />
For those short on time, two different FAB Expresses classes<br />
are offered, each consisting of 25 minutes, one focusing on<br />
upper body and the other on lower body. The detailed<br />
schedule can be found by visiting the FAB Method website at<br />

A pair of Grip Socks are required for classes and are available<br />
for purchase at the studio. It is recommended to take a Level<br />
1 class during your first visit. After experiencing the FAB<br />
Method yourself and yearning for more, a variety of<br />
affordable Membership options are available including the<br />
option for private sessions. Kadi and Kiki are confident after<br />
attending one class that you will absolutely love how you feel<br />
and the results you will attain. They are offering all new<br />
clients their first class FREE! Due to the success and<br />

THE VILLAGE READ<br />
COMING THIS SUMMER<br />
This summer the Greenwood Village Cultural Arts Program<br />
has partnered with the Arapahoe Libraries to present the first<br />
ever “Village Read.” The program is modeled<br />
after Chicago’s successful “One Book, One<br />
Chicago” project. The idea encourages adults<br />
of all ages to read one book and participate in<br />
thought-provoking discussions and activities<br />
derived from the chosen book.<br />
Credit for the original idea is given to<br />
Nancy Pearl, a Seattle librarian. “It’s based<br />
on the idea of community. My idea was<br />
that people would come together who<br />
would never come together any other way.<br />
Literature brings them together because a<br />
book touches them,” she said.<br />
Goals of the program include:<br />
• To encourage leisure reading.<br />
• To encourage community collaboration<br />
throughout the region.<br />
• To provide a variety of means of participation through<br />
book discussions and other activities.<br />
• To provide resources for book discussion groups.<br />
The group has chosen the book “Lake of Fire” by Colorado<br />
author Mark Stevens as this year’s “Village Read” book. Set in<br />
Colorado, the story follows hunting guide Allison Coil as she<br />
tries to find out what happened to a body found after<br />
a wildfire ravages the Colorado Flat Tops.<br />
Many activities are being planned around the<br />
themes from the book, and will include a<br />
Mayor’s kickoff; appearances and talks by the<br />
author; panel discussions; art exhibit; special<br />
speakers; and a closing party.<br />
Keep your eye out this summer for more<br />
information and a complete listing of activities.<br />
Starting in June, books will available for purchase<br />
at The Friends of Arapahoe Libraries Bookstore at<br />
the Koelbel Library and the Curtis Center for the<br />
Arts. Arapahoe Libraries will also have extra copies<br />
available to check out. We look forward to seeing<br />
you at the many activities planned for August.<br />
